The end of the Summer Brides

August ended upbeat and fun. We delivered flowers to the Multicultural Arts Center. It was a small wedding, but the colors were perfect for the space. These are the Brides' bouquets.

Their centerpieces.

Family style seating which I love.

A hint of the painted iron work. There's a catwalk around the whole second floor of this railing.

Then there's the absolute sweetest story: a customer has a friend who was married forty years ago by the Justice of the Peace. No wedding gown, no bouquet, no reception: just the two of them which seems to have worked out just fine.

This customer and several of their mutual friends have gathered together to put on a surprise wedding for the couple's anniversary. We got to make the bouquet. Our customer brought in a locket with a tiny photo of them when they were married:

And we tied it on with her vintage ribbon.

Lavenders, pinks and white was the request. This pretty much made my week.
